WIP model and some info.

Ah, yes, I really like some of the Miyazaki anime. Well, I think I can make some of the persons here angry, because they're supporting me because they just want to "let off some steam". And all this tinkering with story of the sfw part is just mostly a waste of time, that can be invested in things people following me for. Just want to try something different. I don't think it's fair when people give you their money and you give nothing in return. And if I know that there is probably a small chance of finished content in the next month, then it is better to pause the billing cycle for that period. Thank you for your detailed reply, wish you good luck too.

Models look pretty good to me, though my judge of humans is far out of whack at this point. Brings to mind one of the Miyazaki movies with those leg ruffles, heh. It's entirely understandable to want to focus more on the SFW portion of the world. There, you're building lore and history, setting out rules, something that other people can really dig their teeth into to discover gems of knowledge and less-than-obvious connections. They're there because you've put time and thought into creating a compelling world. The NSFW stuff has an immediate draw because, in the general case, there's not much depth to it (and people are just horny, lol). A video that shows a plot and setup (like your Argonian animation) takes a lot more time than most artists want to put into a piece that gets around the same circulation as one that just jumps straight to the action (e.g. the Sangheili ones). Heck, static pictures are similar, it takes time to add a background when you could just draw a character lifting their tail. Personally I'd be happy to see what you do with a SFW world, but it's hard to ignore that people may be here solely for the NSFW. Also, I personally don't think you need to pause. FYNJY said it well, I think, trying to balance putting time into the art and maintaining the subscriber base. It's not necessarily a death knell to have a billed no-post month; I'm still contributing to at least two Patreons that haven't had a post in over 3 months, nor have they paused billing. Anyway, thanks for the update, and here's hoping your limited free time is enjoyable, productive, or both!

Thank for you for your detailed response. You really helping me make decisions and draw conclusions.

I haven't watched this movie, but if everything that happens there is similar to my little description, then yes!

Renders look as crisp as your other models. Quite impressive and very high detail I'll have to say! Very interested to see how your other characters and ideas come out. Very curious about the background which you'd be building up as the full scene unfolds Wether you spend more time on SFW or NSFW entirely depends on how you feel or find the flow to fit better with the characters and scene you have already planned or envisioned. Some will agree, some won't by that's how it works, heh. On the subject of pausing the billing or not it would again entirely depend on you. As I've said in previous posts, if people are interested to support you, they will support you regardless and others will just stop based on if they find the content to their interest or not. It's really more about what you find to be fair for the supporters, but ultimately they will make their own choice wether to follow or not irrespective of the pause. I would say it would be important for you as an artist to be able to focus more on what you want to output (let it be quantity or quality) rather than thinking what kind of decisions people will make based on a billing cycle. Those are my two cents at least.
